My demands are simple: Restore democracy and representation to 'We the People'. The first step would be to reform campaign election financing - get moneyed interests out of politics. The easiest way to do this is have the government equalizing campaign contributions between candidates. The next thing would be to tackle accountability, transparency and secrecy in government (that included you Supreme Court judges!). All powers must end with and be balanced by the three branches of government as our founding fathers intended. Secret above-the-law quasi-governmental organizations like the CIA and the Fed need to be brought under governmental control. If government were accountable to the people, I have full faith that the people of the United States of America would reinvigorate this country and make it great again.
